I'm writing in response to Colleen Shea's Friday column about fitness. I can't believe someone is actually complaining about fit people working out at the gym. Um, hello? How do you think they got those amazing bodies? And no, not everyone at the gym looks like bodybuilders, but at least they're trying to stay fit. If you're so insecure that you can't work out with other people, stay home.

The gym is a place for people of all sizes and health levels to burn off calories and stress, not for people to complain and judge others.

Is the gym The Scariest Place on Earth? If you follow the rules - get off cardio machines after 30 minutes, actually read the exercise machine instructions and look at the clearly depicted illustrations - you should be able to survive. And if you need help, what do you think the staff is for? I'm sure they'd love to feel needed. Be happy that some Gators are spending time in the gym and not just in the cafeteria.
